Identity

LOCATION
7q36.3
LOCUSID
ALIAS
HB9,HLXB9,HOXHB9,SCRA1
FUSION GENES
DNA/RNA
Description
3 exons stretched over an area of 5-6 kb.
Transcription
In a telomere to centromere direction; 2061 bp mRNA, 1206 bp open reading frame.
Proteins
Description
The homeobox gene HLXB9 encodes the nuclear protein HB9. The protein contains a polyalanine repeat region and a homeobox domain.
Expression
Expressed in lymphoid and pancreatic tissues. Highly expressed in CD34+ bone marrow cells, down regulated upon differentiation.
Localisation
Nuclear
Function
Putative transcription factor.
Homology
Related to Mnr2.
Mutations
Note
Mutations in HLXB9 cause an autosomal dominant form of sacral agenesis, known as Currarino syndrome.
Implicated in
Entity name
t(7;12)(q36;p13) - associated infant acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
Prognosis
Prognosis probably poor: median survival is 13 months.
Cytogenetics
t(7;12)(q36;p13), but not always visible by chromosome banding; may also be misdiagnosed as del(12)(p13).
Hybrid gene
5 HLXB9 _ 3 ETV6

Fig. 3. Schematic representation of the HLXB9 and ETV6 proteins and the putative HLXB9-ETV6 chimeric protein resulting from the t(7;12)(q36;p13). Arrow, the observed breakpoints. nt numbers (cDNA level) are given above each protein, and amino acid numbers are given in bold type below each protein.
Fusion protein
N-term HLXB9, including its polyalanine repeat, is fused to a large C-term part of the ETV6 protein including its HLH domain and ETS domain; the homeobox domain of HLXB9 is not retained in the fusion protein; the reciprocal transcript is not expressed.
